    I have an 06 Double Cab Tacoma on a Fab Tech Dirt logic 6 in lift, the lift isnt maxed out so im riding about about maybe 4-5 in at the moment. But i have the worst noise coming from the front and i cant seem to quiet it down any more.

    i have searched and read up on here about diff products to use, wd-40 and silicone etc but nothing seems to work anymore.

    I have searched the net for new bushings to replace the whole front end but i come up short, can anymore point me in the right direction as to where i can buy bushing etc, upper control arm etc. I am embarrassed to drive my beauitful truck. Take a look below at the video

    video doesnt do justice , its LOUD :(

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    thanks

    The little sqeek coming from the back is the leaf springs. One thing I recomend is pressure wash all your suspension components and let it dry and the goin and lube/ check your bolts and retorque everything

    ya its both front and back, i had read up on the rear but im going to get custom leaf's soon so that will get rid of that.

    the front on the other hand is the major issue, iv pressure washed it and it quiets down for about 30 min and then back to ol squeak.

    any know where i can buy bushings for the front. iv greased the upper control arm and also anything i see rubber lol. a buddy of mine who lifts trucks says its the "hiem" or something like that. but idk?

    Maybe the drop braket is loose and metal is rubbing against metal?

    yes stock uppers, its hard to pin point just exactly where the noise comes from. to me it seems like everywhere, when i spray something on the bushings it seems to not have any effect on it anymore.

    im pretty sure there are quiet a few threads like mine, believe me i looked them up. im out of options and desperate to stop the noise
